Ta, most sites saying the same but good to hear from someone who has actually ignored them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 That Indigo Parking case is quite interesting: https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/ninewells-nurses-ordered-pay-4000-parking-fines/ I believe the only cases that went to court previously are ones where the driver took the piss and parked hundreds of times and never bought a ticket, whereas in this case, one woman only parked 8 times. Still reckon that you're safe to bin the odd parking ticket, but I'd be wary about repeatedly parking in the same place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ignored them in the past without any bother - this was the first time I've known a follow up letter to arrive and since we'd told the recipient to ignore the first one I was panicking a wee bit myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry94 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was getting a haircut so stopped in a council car park at the back of the wee Sainsbury's (across from Mennies) on the Perth Road, it's been free for as long as I can remember. The main road is free for 45 mins as well but was full. Come out to a £30 fine about half an hour later. Turns out that it's pay and display with the first two hours free. Was about to have a heads gone and blame poor signage but all clearly noted. FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Mrs jambo-rocker has got this from an private land parking alleged fine up and until now and we've taken the ignore line for two years. What's the option now that they're threatening legal action? Keep ignoring or get in touch and tell them it's not enforceable?

Well the thing is it could be legally enforceable but it's not going to be worth their while to try and recover the money. Therefore, you should file it in the bin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Cheers lads. I was 90% sure that was the case, hence why I'd already torn it up. Noticed that I've left my name on the photo after blanking everything out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the option now that they're threatening legal action? Keep ignoring or get in touch and tell them it's not enforceable? They haven't threatened legal action. They have threatened to advise their client to take legal action. The letter also mentions County Court . I got the exact same letter from something that happened 6 years ago. I guarantee what has happened is a spreadsheet had been sent from company A to company B and a slate of letters printed off and send out. Not a bad idea as the added excitement of As Seen on TV will scare a few auld grannies into paying. Remember that for the price of a stamp only in 300 odd people need to pay to make this fishing expidition worth their while. I would be interested to investigate GPDR implications of holding personal info for years and sharing it around different companies but not interested enough to actually engage with these people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not that it'll come to it but I think they have to prove that the person the letter is addressed to was driving/parked the car. And it's not a fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Horizon parking PCN letter, directly in the bin. Very odd to finally receive one of these from last Wednesday as I’ve been parking in the same car park for work for months now with no repercussions, so they may have finally turned their cameras back on in advance of retail opening back up. How many people do you think actually pay these things to make it worth the companies time.
